An apparatus and method are provided for applying code recordings to objects, such as record members and the like, for computing, identifying, pricing, routing and other functional purposes such as those associated with record keeping, classifying, storage and controlled movement of such articles. In one form, a selected portion of a record member is detected by a sensing device which generates a signal which is applied to a code generating and control device which operates thereafter to control the operation of one or more radiation generators, such as laser or electron beam generating devices, in a manner to generate a series of energy pulses which are directed at the record member or object and serve to burn, discolor or otherwise record pulse codes along one or more tracks of the objects. The objects coded may comprise flat cards, envelopes, record strips, containers or otherwise shaped articles of manufacture. In a particular form, cards, other devices or coatings are attached to objects and are coded by automatic beam pulsing means for identifying such objects.
